Abstract:
This study, titled "Analyzing the Relationship between Leadership Style and Creativity Traits among CHTM Students," employed a quantitative research approach to fully ascertain the level of creativity traits among the student leaders at the College of Hospitality and Tourism Management. Data was collected from 45 respondents through purposive sampling, utilizing a 4-point Likert scale survey questionnaire. Statistical techniques, including frequency distributions, the Shapiro-Wilk test and correlation analysis, were employed to analyze the data. Examining the relationship between leadership styles and creativity traits shows significant correlations. Autocratic leadership revealed a weak positive correlation with elaboration, while bureaucratic leadership revealed moderate positive correlations with fluency, flexibility, elaboration, and originality. Democratic leadership correlated moderately positively with fluency and flexibility, whereas laissez-faire leadership revealed weak to moderate positive correlations across various creativity traits. Servant leadership demonstrated moderate positive correlations in fluency, flexibility, elaboration, and originality. Transactional leadership showed weak positive correlations with fluency, flexibility, and elaboration, alongside a moderate positive correlation with originality. Finally, transformational leadership displayed moderate to large positive correlations across all creativity traits. These findings provide valuable insights into the leadership styles and creativity traits of CHTM students, offering a foundation for tailored approaches in leadership development programs within the academic context.
